Northern Virginia Temple Youth – NoVTY
Our NoVTY programs, for 8th-12th graders, run approximately monthly and are planned by our Teen Leadership Council, in consultation with our Youth Engagement Coordinator. Past events have included scavenger hunts, museum visits, apple picking, and shul-ins (overnights at NVHC).
NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth) is the national youth movement to which we belong. As members of NVHC, any of our members are able to attend NFTY events. NFTY offers a 6th-8th grade event in the winter (MAJYK), as well as 9th-12th grade programs in the fall and winter and 8th-12th grade programs in the spring.
The dates for this year’s NFTY events are listed to the right.
